The Brothers of Hollywood



March 17, 2020

You know how TV shows tend to repeat themes? Well, this season’s theme is Half-Brothers Showing Up Unexpectedly.

I’ve seen three shows recently—The Conners, The Rookie, and 911—which all have half-brothers showing up to meet their siblings and remind the main-character brother of how badly his father treated him compared with the younger sibling.

I don’t watch a ton of TV, so who knows how many other shows have used the schtick?

Are the same writers working on all the shows, or do they all sit in one room and swap ideas?
